2026 SA IB, Asset and Wealth Management

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific information in the knowledge base about whether all banks have filled their spots for 2026 Summer Analyst positions in Investment Banking (IB) or Asset and Wealth Management (AWM). However, recruiting timelines for these programs typically follow a structured schedule, with applications opening well in advance (often a year or more before the internship start date). For example, in previous years, IB recruiting for summer analyst roles often began in the summer or early fall of the preceding year.

If you're targeting 2026 roles, it's crucial to: 1. Check individual bank websites for updates on application deadlines and openings. 2. Leverage WSO resources like the WSO Company Database and Mock Interviews with Pros to prepare effectively. 3. Stay active on forums to monitor updates from other candidates about open spots or extended deadlines.

For Asset and Wealth Management, timelines can vary slightly, but early applications are also common. If you're unsure, consider reaching out to recruiters or alumni at your target firms for clarity.
